The First and Second Phases of the New Deal
Introduction
There were a number of differences between the first and second phases of the New Deal. Although the legislation passed during these two phases of the New Deal addressed similar economic, social, labor, and political problems, the legislation passed during the second phase of the New Deal was more comprehensive, more supportive of labor, and regulated business to a much more significant extent. Major reforms were enacted, new government programs such as Social Security were implemented, and these measures had a longer-term positive impact than those enacted during the first phased of the New Deal.
